Fila Toning Resistance Wear Review!

I recently had the opportunity to review an item from the Fila Toning Resistance Collection, and I am hooked! Fila generously sent me a pair of the Resistance Toning Pants, and I am amazed at how just a little resistance can intensify a workout! These pants feature the Fila body toning system technology, which provides moisture wicking in addition to increased muscle workout. (If you know me, you know I don't only wear skirts, so I have been wearing these with a skirt over them). I was a little skeptical about how much this would really improve my workout. So, I tried wearing them while doing a karate workout. Wow, could I tell a difference! The built-in resistance made me work harder at the stances (try doing a horse stance in these pants...you'll really feel the pull), and the kicks! I really enjoy wearing these during all my workouts now. It makes me feel good, knowing that I'm burning even more calories, and getting a more intense workout in my lower body, just by putting on these pants! I have also started wearing them just while going on a walk, or riding my bike. Again, knowing that I'm getting a little bit more out of my exercise feels good!

Fila also offers resistance toning tanks, capris, shorts and tights, so no matter where you need that extra resistance, they've got you covered! (Literally! :)
